# The New List
This new list breaks off the instances of abuse, hate, etc. that an instance may into it's own file, making for much more convenient browsing.
This new list breaks off the instances of abuse, hate, etc. that an instance may into it's own file, making for much more convenient browsing (and making it much easier for me to update).
Eventually, the goal is to get most instances their own file, and content will be built up as time goes on.

These instances either distinctly imply or outright promote dangerous or violent conspiracy theories.
Conspiracy theories can be a complicated subject, and certain kinds are pretty harmless and okay, so for the sake of this list, what makes a conspiracy theory dangerous or violent is one of the following:

## Advertising
Instances owned or used by corporations to advertise and post product updates. I wouldn't say suspend them, I just think that you may want to silence them so that only people want to see them will see them on the federated timeline.
Instances that advertise won't be on this list if they don't publish to the federated timeline.

## Federation Bots
This is the only list not dedicated to instances but specific users.
Federation bots despite the benign intent, cause a variety of problems:
- They have the potential to passively/quietly undermine the privacy settings of peoples' posts.
- They are opt-out instead of opt-in, meaning it's up to individual users to have to block them or add a '#nobot' to their bio. This is frustrating to many people and an unacceptable situation in terms of privacy.
While it would be good if there are better discovery mechanisms in federated social networks, it needs to be done in a way that can mitigate abuse and does not access a person's data without their explicit consent in advance.
My personal recommendation would be to suspend these bots.
